Kayla’s positive energy is so contagious because after talking to her you just want to go out there and do something good. Kayla said, “Strangely enough, living with a chronic illness has given me a very positive perspective on life.

And I was even able to start my own non-profit through this, Kayla Cares 4 Kids.”
